HI, SOCIETY
TASHA ROBINSON
A TRIPLE CROWN EVENT
It was a night for “Hats, Horses, and Hope” as the 2015 Cattle Baron’s Ball celebrated with a “Derby Day Schedule.” DJ Fred and The Dan Story Band provided music for the evening, and guests of the VIP Reception enjoyed Tasha Robinson, harpist for The Ocala Symphony Orchestra. With chance drawings, a silent auction, and the live auction, those who attended had many opportunities to take home the many items donated by caring sponsors. At the end of the evening, everyone went “Back to the Paddock” knowing signifi cant funds were raised for the American Cancer Society.

“Men no longer need to suff er from frequent urination because they are getting older,” says Dr. James Young, a down-toearth urologist with 33 years of experience in treating men with prostate problems in Lake County. Although the cause of these symptoms is most likely an enlarging prostate (BPH), a normal part of the aging process in men, treatment options are more numerous and less invasive than those off ered to our fathers and grandfathers.
Years ago there were two options for treating an enlarged prostate: surgical excision via an open operation (knife) or much more commonly by performing a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), commonly referred to as a “roto-rooter” by patients and physicians. Both required hospitalization as well as major anesthesia and could be fraught with complications such as bleeding, infection, loss of bladder control and even death.
“When I see a new patient I perform a physical examination and properly evaluate the patient’s symptoms, thus diagnosing the underlying problem(s),” he says. “Next, I describe to the patient what’s normal and then explain what is abnormal with him. Lastly, I teach him his treatment options. If I’ve done a good job of teaching, he will select the correct option for himself.”
While prescribing medications for BPH can be done by primary care physicians, only urologists are trained to thoroughly evaluate the bladder and prostate (including ruling out prostate cancer), as well as providing extremely eff ective minimally invasive, offi ce-based therapies as alternatives to lifelong medical therapy.
One such option is Prostiva-RF Th erapy, a procedure performed by Dr. Young in his offi ce under local anesthesia that usually takes less than 30 minutes. Prostiva utilizes low level radio frequency energy to ablate (destroy) the obstructing component of the enlarged prostate. “I am very happy with the results I have achieved for my patients using Prostiva-RF Th erapy,” says Dr. Young, who has successfully treated more than 2,400 patients with this procedure.
“Medtronic is a $13 billion-a-year, publicly traded corporation that perfected the technology for Prostiva and produces the necessary hardware. Recently, Medtronic produced an educational DVD for international distribution to inform patients and physicians worldwide regarding the benefi ts of Prostiva therapy. Seven of the eight patients featured on the DVD are my patients. I am very proud Medtronic selected my practice to feature the benefi ts of Prostiva-RF Th erapy. However it is sort of a bad news/good news thing. Th e bad news is neither my patients nor myself received a penny for our participation. Th e good news is Medtronic gave us all the DVD’s we want, so if anyone wants one all he needs to do is drop by my offi ce at 801 Northshore Drive in Eustis, and we will give him one!”
And with an offi ce staff with nearly as much experience as the doctor, (many have worked with Dr. Young more than 20 years) you don’t spend a great deal of time waiting to see him. “We pride ourselves in being timely in seeing our patients. We respect our patient’s time as much as we do our own,” adds Dr. Young. “Patients appreciate this; many of our patients tell me I have the best offi ce staff on the planet. I consider that a huge compliment.”
So if you are getting up at night and can’t get back to sleep because you are thinking about what may be wrong with you, it’s time to check in with Dr. Young and have him check you out.
“Many men accept frequent bladder urges as part of aging. And while it is part of the aging process, it’s not like death and taxes. Th ere is something you can do about it,” he says.
